The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has completed a 3.5 mile roadway in the Milledgeville area. It's part of the Fall Line Freeway project that runs from Columbus to Augusta. But the new road will connect Central Georgia drivers to a number of frequently traveled places.

GDOT District Communications Officer, Kyle Collins, said, "Additional access from State Route 112 on the south side of Milledgeville, that's Vinson Highway, to hop on Fall Line Freeway to get to Highway 441, and also continue on the Fall Line Freeway to get to Ivey, to Gordon, Wilkinson County, to get to Macon, Columbus."

Collins said the state also hopes the Fall Line Freeway will help reduce some of the large truck traffic through downtown Milledgeville.

More than twenty neighbors living on Milledge Avenue and Doles Boulevard in Milledgeville are worried about a $7 million development being built.

It's called The Boulevard and will consist of more than 30 homes for rent and purchase, three of those homes are already in construction. But neighbors say they're worried about traffic coming in and out of their quiet neighborhood.

Claire Davis spoke with them and the developer to learn more about the project.

Gail Yeomans has lived on Doles Blvd. in Milledgeville for eight years. "It was a quiet neighborhood. You could sit out in your yard and just relax," said Yeomans.
